Hi Paul,

this is very interesting (one has 3x FTDI with 2-4 ports and 7x PL2303)
and so I installed it straight away on several boxes.

I suffer from this problem, that the kernel (or BIOS or whoever..)
assigns different Bus/Device-IDs (and therefore tty) to the same device
depending on:
- cold(power-cycle) or a "warm" reboot
- order of connection
- Moon or Sun-Phase, I never found out :p

My last conclusion was: only a device with a unique
serial/name/description (like with FTxx) could be matched by a program
(or udev-rule) to get one&the same /dev/xxx-Entry over all cases.
It's even worse: Users change hubs, ports, ...

The same might be sad but true for owfs & ttyUSBx, I wouldn't rely on that.
That being said, I'll test; but my guess is: enumerate the device your
looking for by other means, not bus/dev-id..

Michael
